Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Komering

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been approved. The Board of Trustees and language committee have deemed that there is sufficient grounds and community to create the new language project. A committee member provided the following comment: There doesn't seem to be any eligibility issues. --Sotiale (talk) 15:32, 20 February 2024 (UTC) - Approved on 2024-09-16, phabricator:T374813. --MF-W 08:34, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.
The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:

What	Value	Example / Explanation

Proposal
Language code	kge (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Komering	Language name in English
Language name	Basa Kumoring	Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item	Q49224 - item has currently the following values: English label: Komering native label (P1705): Cawa Kumoring, Basa Kumoring instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): language / Lampungic Wikimedia language code (P424): writing system (P282): Latin script, Komering script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 470,000	Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed.
Directionality	LTR	Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	kge.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipidiya	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace	Wikipidiya	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	Rombakan Wikipidiya	"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads	no	Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons. If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin"). Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons.
Optional settings
Project logo	File: Wikipedia-logo-v2-kge-Lmpg.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Asia/Jakarta	"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces		For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings		Anything else that should be set
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

Proposal

Komering is a Lampungic language spoken in the southern part of South Sumatra Province, or more precisely in the regency of East Ogan Komering Ulu, Ogan Komering Ilir, South Ogan Komering Ulu, Ogan Komering Ulu (Ogan Komering Raya), and is also spoken in the city of Palembang. Outside the province of South Sumatra, there are also many Komering migrant communities who use this language both within Indonesia and abroad. This language is spoken by around 470.000 speakers, so it is appropriate that a Wikipedia for the Komering language be created, confirming a little, that Lampung and Komering are indeed the same, but they are different because in the Komering vocabulary there is a lot of influence from the Palembang language vocabulary.

Support Y I really agree if Wikipedia Komering is created, considering that this is one of the largest language in the province of South Sumatra. Es Krim 5 juta Rasa (talk) 04:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Y It's time to free up knowledge for the Komering people, so I hope that Wikipedia for the Komering language will be created in the near future without having to wait too long. EWDGahan (talk) 04:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This looks like a sockpuppet, although I am not one to assume, It just looks like a sockpupppet. Very similar timings, very similar writing styles. Heathhedge (talk) 02:06, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm supporting this wiki in order to be realized and Komering Wikipedia have the good editor (Es Krim 5 juta Rasa). I hope if this created, he will be an admin. Nokteholda [ 💬 | 📝 ] 14:13, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support I approve of the Komering language officially becoming a Wikipedia seeing that lately many Indonesian regional languages that were previously in the Wikimedia Incubator are hatching into Wikipedia Badak Jawa (talk) 07:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
